The African and Chinese goose thread!!

I am 3rd generation goose lover at least. Just adore them. I even buy back any I sold that need rehomed.. it matters to me that much. It is the one species I hatch every year. Many folks are seeing their purpose on a small farm.

Hoping someone on here can help me identify these 2 geese. Do they look more African or Chinese? They are almost a year old. I am thinking both ganders but unsure. Their voices are deeper / lower than my male Chinese.

@servpolice your thoughts? Hatchery African right, brown Chinese left?

@jchny2000. Thank you for the quick reply. I also can see a difference in them. I hatched the eggs, they are from same goose but ganders may be different. There were African and Chinese ganders. The goose was (?) unknown breed, a mix?. This is her

She is beautiful! Has a look of Toulouse! And yes, I bet my dollar on she is a she! I do see the mix. She will be an awesome goose, you are going to love her.

That was my thought, Toulouse mix most likely. She actually belongs to my cousin, I just took the 2 eggs last year. Hatched them in the incubator along with some duck eggs. I just wondered what the gander might be. Mine are so much bigger than she is. Thank you for the help

So, I bought back 6 of my geese that were sold last year to a private individual. American Buff mix, and Embden. She moved in to town, one of the kids that visited often. Now grown, and starting a family.
If I remember correctly it was a brown Chinese hen, 3 white Chinese unsexed and 1 embden. One gander is a gorgeous mix of American Buff and Brown Chinese. Trying to upload a picture of the flock.
I ask anyone that buys my goslings to please, give them the opportunity to come home. Life events happen, and I know geese are not for everyone. Pretty happy to see these grown geese! Will try again tomorrow to upload pictures.
